  1. I like this. How did you change the color/contrast to get this effect? It really works with the party atmosphere of the image.

  2. Thanks! I did several things to the photo in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, but the most noticeable was a preset called “OrangeGardenLE.” I picked up that preset from the PresetsHeaven website here: http://www.presetsheaven.com/2009/02/05/12-12-new-presets-from-sarah/

    The main effects of that preset are achieved by adjusting the highlights and shadows using the split-toning adjustments. In this case, a dusky-orange highlight and a silvery shadow are used.

  3. Orange and silver…. Huh, I never would have guessed that. It is a great pic! I know very little about Lightbox and preset changes. I used to work with PhotoShop in art class but it has been a long time. You are learning so much! I’m completely jealous, but very happy you are enjoying photography.

  4. Just to clarify, I am completely jealous of all the great things you are learning. I wish I had the time for all of that. Right now I’m taking a class in Management so I guess I’m learning something even if it doesn’t feel like it.
